One hell of a commute…but

April 27th, 200910:09 am @


I was browsing the web. Found a position for a 767 First Officer. I don’t qualify yet (I only have 1400 hours), but maybe by the end of 2010/spring 2011. Just an idea. The pay is high and they have a commuting allowance! My wife is learning Japanese. The pay is high enough to maybe convince her to maybe let me go. Hmmm probably a 10% chance……maybe. Eh…
